Hatha Yoga is a vast, mysterious field, a century old with roots in many Indian traditions. But why do we practice what we do? Where do these practices come from? How do we know what is “traditional” yoga, and what might be more modern creations? Where are the traceable roots of yoga? Why is this all important?
In an age of cultural appropriation, knowing the history of what we teach is more important than ever. Yoga teachers across the globe are becoming more dedicated to drawing from authentic teaching, and named lineages of practice.
The History of Hatha Yoga with veteran hatha yoga teacher Grace Bryant offers just that: a line from many modern hatha yoga practices, where they came from and why we call them yoga. We’ll look at historic texts and teachers, practices and yogic aspirations.
Above all, we’ll hold curiosity around why yoga is a liberation tradition and how it can truly free all beings from suffering.
